It was reported yesterday that Piggy of Voivod died of cancer at the age of 45. Wow. It took me years to get into Voivod, but once I "got it", they've been one of my faves. Piggy was an incredible and unique guitarist. He will be missed. I got to meet him at Ozzfest a couple of years ago and they were incredibly nice and appreciative. I can't believe another hero is gone. I will be spinning "Dimension Hatross" and "Nothingface" in remembrance. RIP, brother.

This saddens me, no end. I used to be pen pals with Denis when I joined their fan club, Iron Gang, around 1983. He was always the one to write back. I finally got to meet him in the 90's and partied with him, Snake, and Away on The Outer Limits tour. Denis was EXTREMELY underated. I can honestly say NO ONE sounded like him! Or Voivod, for that matter!
RIP, Denis.
